OHTC offers a full service tennis program for all ages and skills. Two full time USPTA (United States Professional Tennis Association) teaching pros offer private and group lessons seven days a week.

Adults have the option of participating in USTA (United States Tennis Association) as well as social events and tournaments. Juniors may play on interclub teams year round and we offer a summer junior tennis/basketball camp (ages 6-16).

If you are a new tennis member or just beginning to pick up tennis as a sport, we have a suggestion that will help you meet other members and have a great time too. Why not join one of our USTA Adult League Teams? Oakland Hills has eleven teams that range in skills from 2.5 to 5.0 for men and women. As a member of a team, you will be able to practice with and meet players of similar skills. To participate, you need to get a USTA rating this month as rosters are forming soon. The 2.5 and 3.0 women's teams are in need of players, send an email to membership@oaklandhills.com.

Rating information can be found in the Inside Tennis magazine, USTA office (748-7373), USTA Internet site (www.ustanorcal.com), or call the club.
Parents with younger kids (4-6 years) can call Bill Merida (482-0645) for information on his Pee-Wee group tennis lessons. These are very popular with both kids and their parents.

Juniors interested in improving their tennis skills can call Jerry to join his Tuesday or Wednesday group lessons. The Tuesday group is for kids just starting out or with limited skills (ages 8 to 12 years). The Wednesday workout is for the junior who is ready for competitive tennis with other clubs (all ages). All classes meet from 4 pm to 5:30 pm for ten weeks.

The Tuesday after school junior tennis workouts cost $170 for ten weeks.
The Wednesday after school tennis workouts cost $190 for ten weeks.

Adults can play every weekend and not have to worry about setting up their own matches. Call Bill for information and costs to join his weekend match making service. Both men and women of all skills have enjoyed this service as a way to improve their games and meet other players
